Easy connection: The board has a 5.1K Ohm resistor on the CC1 pin that\nsignals the host to provide you with 5V and up to 1.5A. HEAVY DUTY\nCONSTRUCTION The connector has a semi-continuous assembly which ensures a\nstable mechanical connection. Nevertheless, you should not bend it\nintentionally. Standard pin configuration: Simply connect VBUS to your 5V\ninput, GND to ground and D+, and D as usual. Note: Unlike USB Type C sockets,\nthe connector deliberately does not use both sets of D+\/D\/CC pins. This\narrangement helps the host recognize how the cable is connected.
